Subject: [PATCH 5.0 42/46] Revert "selftests: firmware: remove use of non-standard diff -Z option"

5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@...nel.org>

commit 13ac7db09c914e4991a08b7ad578267d5cdd9856 upstream.

This reverts commit f70b472e937bb659a7b7a14e64f07308e230888c.

This breaks testing on Debian, and this patch was NACKed anyway.
The proper way to address this is a quirk for busybox as that is
where the issue is present.
